Links[edit]

Used Github Issues previously. Third party hosted. Potential vendor lock-in issue. Hard to migrate to another platform using API. Hard to make a full backup and import elsewhere.

Own experience by Patrick: Github did hide (delete) tickets if these were created by an account which later got compromised by a spammer. No notification about this is being sent out. Only github support can restore. Thereby notes can get too easily lost / forgotten.

Phabricator Issues[edit]

forums and issue tracker require different accounts (inconvenience, usability issue)
no integration with discourse forums ^[archive], therefore usability issue, discussion on issue tracker are disconnected from forum discussions
spam registration issue ^[archive]
excessive auto mysql backup size ^[archive]
does not support bounties ^[archive]
does not have bridge to github ^[archive], therefore hard to connect to bountysource
bountysource does not support phabricator ^[archive]
deleting objects cumbersome
Whonix's least popular web app (more popular are discourse forums and mediawiki)

Footnotes[edit]

↑ Works. Tested by Patrick.
Created a herald rule for Patrick. The rule itself is only visible to admins:
https://phabricator.whonix.org/herald/rule/1/ ^[archive]
Dunno if the visibility of the rule can be changed. Asked in #phabricator irc.freenode.net. No answer. But nevermind.
It worked. See:
https://phabricator.whonix.org/T39 ^[archive] adretest created a new ticket and Patrick was automatically added to cc by phabricator because of the herald rule.
